Get Knotted - Shibari style...

My fave shoot from the 'Super Natural' issue of LOVE magazine, A/W 2011 is without doubt the underwater extravaganza that is the mammouth 42 page 'What Lies Beneath' spread.  Shot by Mert and Marcus, with Katie Grand at the helm of art direction/styling and starring {count them} 11 models including la Lara Stone, Mariacarla Boscono, Kristen McMenamy and Guinevere Van Seenus The images truly are breathtaking.  Not happy with just an etheral underwater Ophelia-esque floating feel, Kristen and Guinevere are tied up in ropes a la the Japanese art of Shibari, so f*cking cool.  Look at Kristen's amazing super long grey locks looking all mermaid magnificent...

...and so the tied-up trend continues in editorial with Tom Munro also taking inspiration {no doubt} from Nobuyoshi Araki's signature style in Attache Moi! from Numero #125 August 2011...

...oh and finally it would be rude not to share an Archive piece from Miss R which was featured in 125 magazines Japanese extravaganza back in 2007!
